Found another gem at the library! It’s almost time for it to be returned so I thought I’d take some photographs of the artwork and give a bit of a review. I really liked this one. It’s short, simple, and to the point. The name pretty much summed it up. Questions and Answers for theContinue reading “Tell Me Something About Buddhism”

Mi Encanto
I don’t think I’m ready yet to talk about how bad I was doing the day before Thanksgiving. I was still stretched pretty thin Thanksgiving too, but I rallied with opposite action and did what I could. Socialized during Thanksgiving lunch then took my stepdaughter out to see a movie that we both had beenContinue reading “Mi Encanto”
Mental Health Jumbled
Here is another link to the DBT Discord. I rearranged my post order to jump this post straight to today.

The Art of Simple Living: Part One
Okay, the first part of the book is really interesting. It makes sense because Zen is one of the building blocks to the foundation of DBT skills. The book is nice since it really only has about a page of text about each of these points. It’s not really something I’ll expand upon to muchContinue reading “The Art of Simple Living: Part One”
